Surprised not seeing more of this, with training, glove size and wars in the cage they are taking significant more damage than any other sport.

Was gonna say this but at least in boxing you have a count, in MMA it gets stopped because someone either isn't defending themselves well enough or they are el sparco
you spar more in boxing as well. MMA you have wrestling and bjj days. Also in MMA there’s fights where there can be minimal damage because of superior ground game.

Counts make things worse. How many times have you seen in boxing where the fighter gets on his feet and allowed to continue only to be knocked down again in the next exchange? Repeated blows to the head are more likely to cause brain damage. In MMA, once the ref steps in, it is over. The fighter can argue he's fine all he wants. It doesn't matter.

I understand completely. That's what I'm saying. I probably said it bad.

What I'm getting at is a fighter can take a count as a breather sometimes to regroup, look at froch, he got knocked down early in 2 fights and won. Probably took a hundred more punches at least in each fight.

I like the count but I don't like the country also. Look at nganno Vs AJ or AJ Vs dubois.

Or you can also have fights like Cain jds or hendo Vs shogun
